I hope you will like my new improved blog site. I hired Karen from Valentine Design to change the look. Thank you, Karen.
Even though I am still creating art using paint and on canvas, I have now added a new media.
Recently I took an online course for the second year from Artful Gathering, this year from Riki Schumacher, who taught a soldering with a butane torch workshop. I have so enjoyed working in this new medium. Last year I learned a little bottle craft that could turn a plain bottle into an old ancient looking jug.
This is basically the same principle used to make jewelry but I am more focused on
charms and dangling things to use to add "bling" to ordinary decor in our homes.
Last night I completed a bottle that started out as a clear bottle holding wine vinegar to which I added on to it, various paper, paint, and "junk", then I attached a little metal book I made from copper, soldering findings to it, then attached it to the bottle
My mind is a buzz with ideas.

I love your creative bottle!!! You are very talented - wish I could solder! Love the look of your blog...you just have to keep writing...it gets easier but I have to be in the mood or its like pulling teeth to do it!

Looking for something??

The first painting I can recall (crayons?)as an art work was a portrait of my best friend during art class in second grade. Did I call myself an artist? For years I believed I was creative, but I didn't think I was good enough to call myself an artist. Years of being creative passed and I realized " I am an artist".
